How to Check a Chaffee Warrant
Start on the city court route. Pin down the case exactly. Chaffee's official calendar publishes municipal sessions, but a calendar is not a warrant list. Public Case.net may add docket context, though it cannot promise a complete warrant result.
- Gather the ticket, case number, full court name, and missed date.
- Call Chaffee City Hall at 573-887-3558 for the current clerk and courtroom route.
- Ask whether the docket contains an FTA, warrant, capias, bond, or new date.
- Confirm whether appearance or payment is permitted and whether a judge must act.
- Keep the receipt, order, or docket entry that documents compliance.
Resolve the Two-Location Conflict Before Travel
Chaffee's own calendar puts municipal court at 222 W. Yoakum Avenue. Scott County's circuit page, meanwhile, places a Chaffee municipal division office at the Justice Center in Benton and lists 573-545-3576. Both are official, yet they may serve different functions or simply lag each other in updates.
Chaffee Court and Police Have Different Roles
Chaffee's municipal division issues the process, sets court dates and bond, and decides whether to recall a warrant. Chaffee Police can serve one and field routine questions. But the department is not where the court files live; ask the court for records.

Types of Chaffee Court Process
| Type | Possible origin | First confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal bench process | Missed city setting | Chaffee clerk route |
| Traffic FTA | Unresolved city citation | Issuing municipal division |
| State arrest warrant | County criminal case | Scott County Circuit Clerk |
| Capias | Order in an existing case | Issuing judge's division |
A ticket reported to Missouri DOR is one thing; a Chaffee arrest warrant is another. Ask the court what must be finished, and whether proof has to reach DOR too.
Read the Chaffee Record as a Timeline
| Case or citation number | The safest matching key. |
|---|---|
| Charge | The filed ordinance or state allegation. |
| Scheduled event | The hearing date and division. |
| FTA or warrant entry | The court action following nonappearance. |
| Bond or recall | Case-specific judicial terms and later action. |
A Chaffee receipt alone proves nothing about the warrant itself. Get the later docket entry or order, and give the systems time to post it.
Where Chaffee Process Meets Scott County
Chaffee cases start in the city division. State charges go to the Scott County Circuit Clerk at 573-545-3596, while bond or custody questions may fall to the Sheriff or jail. Only the issuing court can recall the warrant.

Public Access and Missing Chaffee Data
Chaffee keeps its city records under the Missouri Sunshine Law, while court access rules cover judicial files. Some material stays closed. Juvenile, sealed, or expunged records can be withheld. A focused request works best: name the division, case number, year, and the document you want, and skip extra sensitive identifiers.
No live roster: Chaffee posts no public warrant roster, warrant count, online recall form, or amnesty program, so confirm the clerk, location, date, payment rule, and any fee before you act.
